FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Lemmy doesn't have awards yet, but you'd definitely get one.
Confess your sins to the CRIME SKELETON
or
!lemmy.world/c/goodoffmychest
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
please, the link to CRIME SKELETON is not working
I understood that reference
I think you need to be a little more specific.
Offmychest was the Reddit equivalent, I see there is a goodoffnychest on lemmy, one of the topics was "I hate my mother", so seems the right kinda place?
Also worth noting that your country probably has some kind of mental health/suicide prevention hotlines, and if your problems are more serious, you should use those services. Even if it doesn't feel that serious, it's what they exist for.
You can search for communities via https://lemmyverse.net/ and see what would meet your need. Good luck.
